About
History
Investment Concepts, Inc. was founded in Orange, CA in 1969 by George Chami, a Brooklyn-born CPA specializing in the savings and loan industry. Shortly after its founding, ICI was acquired by Standard Pacific Corporation, which Mr. Chami joined and where he founded its Investment Properties Division. After spending six years in that position and gaining substantial construction and development knowledge, he re-acquired Investment Concepts from Standard Pacific.

Our Reputation
ICI was founded at a time when the savings and loan industry had substantial holdings of foreclosed real estate. Given the extensive experience of our founder in accounting, finance, and regulatory matters, the company’s initial acquisitions involved foreclosed properties acquired directly from Savings and Loan Associations.
These acquired properties required significant management involvement. By establishing investment and operating guidelines and procedures, each property acquired was turned into a profitable investment. The experience gained in the management and turnaround of these (often ill-conceived and poorly built) properties has given ICI an outstanding reputation among its lenders, partners, and tenants.
